Dustin (Edward) Argumedo
Dustin is a Menswear designer from Portland, Oregon. Growing up, Dustin always knew he wanted to do something that kept his creativity flowing, but in college switched his gear to something more practical; Business. While doing business, he took all the creative electives that were available. At that same time, Dustin started working at Guess? Jeans were where he grew a love for clothing. Later, he decided to get into the Fashion Industry after he noticed that there was a lack of creativity when it came to menswear in stores, always having to opt to purchase plain and boring clothing pieces. Dustin joined the Fashion Industry with the goal to bring diversity to menswear as well as bring his unique eye and style to mainstream menswear.
